In the Qionghai City restaurant, the three of them gathered together again, each with a serious look on their face.
"Brother Wu, this matter involves the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea, so we need to be cautious!"
Meng Yang said.
"If you ask me, it's better to notify the door, send orders to all places, and conduct a more detailed investigation. It may not be the work of the Nanhai Dragon Clan!"
Min Wenshuo said unconvinced.
After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at Wu Ming in silence, and the only sound in the room was the tapping of his fingers on the table.
"According to the secret reports from the two sects, every time when the Dragon Palace draft is approaching, girls will disappear inexplicably in Linhai, Yazhou. Regardless of their level of cultivation, they happen every year!"
Wu Ming pondered for a long time, and then said with a cold light in his eyes, "If my prediction is correct, with the power of the two sects behind them, they may not know that it is indeed the South China Sea Dragon Palace or the Hai Clan who did it, but one of them just doesn't want to break up.
The second is that someone is causing trouble!"
"this……"
Meng Yang's eyes twitched.
"Hey, forget it, Brother Wu is extremely smart. Now that we have clues, it will be impossible to hide it from him!"
Min Wenshuo let out a long sigh, stopped what he was saying, and said angrily, "To be honest, we do know who is informing the Hai Clan, and even personally kidnapped human women, but the stakes are very high, and now is the time of trouble.
Had to hide it.”
"Brother Min, there's no need to tell, I've already guessed who it is!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"Brother Wu, you must not..."
Their pupils shrank, and they were halfway through their words of persuasion, but they didn't know how to say it out.
Think about what this man has done all the way south, none of which is earth-shattering. How can he shrink back because his opponent is too strong?
But no matter what, they cannot participate, including the two major earth-level sects. It is precisely because he knows the relationship that Wu Ming will not force the two to speak out, so as not to get involved and cause unnecessary trouble.
You must know that those who can make the two major sects jealous can only be found in a few places in Yazhou, and there are even fewer who can be considered to have dissatisfaction.
There is almost no need to think too much, the mastermind behind the scenes has already surfaced!
"Hey, no wonder the elders of our sect have repeatedly said that Brother Wu is truly an outstanding figure in the world, so I must never turn against him!"
Min Wenshuo sighed with emotion, took out a jade box and said, "This treasure is called Thousand Machine Keys. It is a formation-breaking treasure that my master accidentally obtained in his early years. It is comparable to the best treasures. Although it can only be used three times, no one has
I know that I have the right to purchase the Tianlan Star Destruction Formation this time."
"It turns out you were already prepared!"
Meng Yang gave him a strange look, as if he were a brother in distress, took out a long wooden box and said, "This treasure is called Zhanque. It was acquired by my master in a secret ruins in his early years. It has never been shown to anyone. It is a top-grade weapon."
A treasured sword to reach the treasure formation."
"this……"
Wu Ming frowned slightly, showing hesitation.
According to the agreement, the two sects sent people into the secret realm and inquired about the information. The deal was considered completed, but they never thought of sending two precious treasures. Even if they are not as good as the Tianlan Star Destruction Formation, they are still rare!
"Brother Wu, there is no need to refuse! To be honest, although my master did not say it explicitly, I have already expected that the treasure array is so precious, especially for my Canghai Sect. I cannot take advantage of it."
"Not only that, during the battle of Qianlongyuan, we had already known that great chaos was about to break out in China. A genius like Brother Wu would definitely shine brightly. We, the elders of our school, also wanted to take this opportunity to form a bond.
origin!"
The two said seriously.
"So...it would be disrespectful for me to refuse!"
Wu Ming cupped his hands and thanked him.
"That's how it should be!"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more words, and stood up to leave.
"My lord, these two sects have made a good calculation. They have obtained a Tao formation that is comparable to a Tao weapon, and they have mixed it with any cause and effect, hoping to reap the benefits!"
Chang Shu said angrily.
"It doesn't matter. Anyone who is in a superior position will definitely do the 'benefit without any expense, why not do it' approach. Now that I know who is behind the scenes, I can naturally bring the person back!"
Wu Ming gently brushed the wooden box, feeling the edge of the sword inside, with a cold look on his lips.
It can be seen that the two sects have put in a lot of effort and know his style of behavior, so they have prepared two treasures, one of which can be used to open the formation, and the other can be used to defend against the enemy.
The broken golden knives gathered in Baihua Tower to fight with Luo Wuhua. Obviously, they couldn't hide it from someone who wanted to do it, so they came up with this!
"Green Bamboo!"
After a short moment of silence, Wu Ming slowly put away the two treasure boxes, stood up slowly and said, "Sneak into Haiya City immediately and inquire about all the information. No matter how big or small it is, there must be no mistakes!"
"yes!"
Qing Zhujun's face tightened, and he immediately left the private room. He raised his hand and wiped it on his face. His face changed instantly. After going downstairs, he quickly disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.
"Chang Lao, you repair the dragon boat and the Qinglong Armor in secret. When Chen Fengyu, Ku Ci, and the three evil men of the Tu family come out of the secret realm, come and see them as soon as possible!"
Wu Ming said again.
"Now is the time when the Lord is employing people, how can this old slave..."
Chang Shu's complexion changed slightly,
"It doesn't matter, you just need to ensure your own safety!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"Yes, Lord, don't worry, it will be completed within half a month!"
After Chang Shu finished speaking, he left the private room.
"Sword slave!"
Wu Ming raised his eyelids slightly, looked at this young swordsman who was taciturn and should be his uncle, and said in a deep voice, "Go to the area around Linhai, kill the sea people, and use yourself as bait to lure
The Hai Clan is out in force, and after that is done, you can come to Haitang Bay to find me."
Lu Tianchi turned around and left expressionlessly.
"South China Sea Dragon Clan...Nangong...hehe!"
After everyone left, Wu Ming smiled solemnly and walked slowly out of the private room. Soon there was no trace of him. Even the people who were following him secretly could not determine his whereabouts, so he had to go back to report to the two major sects in a hurry.
…
Time flies, five days have passed, and Wu Ming has already appeared in Yazhou, which is the southernmost Haitang Bay even though it is isolated overseas.
Compared with the prosperous Qionghai City, Haitang City is far behind. Even the city walls are a bit petty. It is obviously closer to the South China Sea and adjacent to the Nangong family, one of the world's leading merchants, but it is quite depressed.
In fact, it is no wonder that Haitang City is like this, because the Nangong family occupies Yalong Bay and annexes it from both sides. Over the years, they have annexed countless famous families and occupy almost one-tenth of the southern part of Yazhou.
If it weren’t for the Nanhai Dragon Palace, it would have attracted the wrath of heaven and people, and I don’t know how many times it would have been destroyed!
But even so, the Nangong family still firmly occupies the south, relying on the South China Sea's specialties to become prosperous, even though all the major forces in Yazhou deliberately avoid the Nangong family's location and build important cities, so as not to make its prosperity even greater.
But precisely because of this, without the obstruction of powerful forces, the Nangong family's territory spread to both sides at an unimaginable speed. In recent years, it has occupied nearly half of Haitang Bay.
At this time, Hao Fang, the lord of Haitang City and the sixth son of the eldest son of the Hao family, was sitting cautiously in an ordinary teahouse with a face full of hesitation and uneasiness, looking around.
It can be seen that his face and clothes have been dressed up, obviously to hide his appearance.
"Thank you, Brother Hao. I've been waiting for a long time!"
Suddenly, a chuckle came out, and Hao Fang almost jumped up in surprise, almost knocking over the teapot on the table. Fortunately, a hand came out from behind to hold it down, preventing him from taking action.
"Your Majesty, can we not mention names?"
Hao Fang said with a sad face.
"I'm already a white man. With the power of Brother Hao's family, I should know it very well!"
Wu Ming smiled lightly.
"Yes, but in my heart, you will always be the timely rain that turned the tide in the abyss of the dragon and saved countless comrades from fire and water, the King of Wu of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Looking at Wu Ming, whose face was definitely not what he remembered, but whose eyes had not changed, Hao Fang nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, his eyes full of awe.
Even if he bows his head at home, even if there is a semi-sage sitting in the house, he does not dare to be disrespectful at all. In fact, Wu Ming's method of punishing him back then was too cruel and cruel, which left a strong psychological shadow on him.
Thinking of this, Hao Fang subconsciously touched his right shoulder. Even though his broken arm was reborn, he shuddered every time he thought about it. The strange thing was that there was no resentment in his heart, only awe.
Because he gave his arm back then, he became one of the most outstanding genius warriors of the Hao family today, even enough to rank among the top three.
"Brother Hao said something serious, I came here with a request!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"The prince has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. As long as it can be done, I won't hesitate to say anything. Even if it can't be done, I still have some prestige in the clan, so I can definitely relieve the prince's worries!"
Hao Fang's heart skipped a beat and he patted his chest in assurance.
"It's not a big deal. I want to take action against the Nangong family recently. I wonder if Brother Hao is interested in making a fortune?"
Wu Ming said with a smile.
Wow!
Hao Fang, who had just made his solemn promise, stood up, turned around and left. However, he only took a few steps and froze up and sat down again before Wu Ming could stop him.
"My lord, are you kidding me?"
Hao Fang said with a sad face.
Back then, when dealing with a few talented people, he was asked to give up his arm and pretend to be dead. Although he was fooled, now I feel scared every time I think about it. This person is really cruel and ruthless!
But think about it again. Although Nangong Longshang is not a noble family, he has almost aristocratic background and is backed by the Nanhai Dragon Clan. Is that easy to offend?
Not to mention that the Hao family only had one semi-saint in charge to barely keep its foundation intact. Even if there were two more, the situation wouldn't be much better!
Don’t you see, even two major earth-level sects plus a Zizhu Island can withstand the power of the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea?
"You think I came all the way here just to make a joke?"
Wu Ming's expression turned cold. Seeing that Hao Fang was almost frightened, Wu Ming patted his shoulder with a gentle smile and said, "Don't worry, if you don't want to, I won't force you. After all, it's not sweet to force yourself. It's a pity that I
I thought that the Hao family, which has been suppressed by the Nangong family for many years and is now almost losing its ancestral foundation, would join forces with me to fight, but I didn’t expect... Hey! Forget it, just think that I have misjudged the person!"
"You...your lord, wait a moment!"
Hao Fang's eyes turned red and he was about to be scolded, but at the last moment he came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "Don't make fun of me, okay? Although our Hao family has been suppressed by the Nangong family for many years, as the saying goes, it is better to die than live in peace." Living is worse than telling the truth and destroying the family, right?"
"How long can I survive?"
Wu Ming looked at Hao Fang with pity and sneered, "The backbone of the Hao family has been broken. I don't want to say anything more. Seeing your virtue, why not go to Nangong's family quickly to report the news and receive the reward. Maybe in the future, the Hao family will be destroyed, but you can still
